Bloody hell lads let’s not over react

Fwiw I think the team structure looks better when Daka plays, I’m not always sure why because it’s not obvious that he’s doing anything in particular. But across the whole season I think a lot of the good team performances have come when daka has started. Admittedly he can’t shoot to save his life. But I don’t think it’s a black and white as Vardy should always start.

We’ve definitely not been good enough recently, we look mentally broken when things don’t go our way and when teams score against us, we cannot find the back of the net, poor substitution decisions - all these things he has to take some/all of the blame for. That said the players have also got to shoulder a lot of the blame. On this really poor run of form I think there’s only 1 or 2 games that we definitely deserved to lose and the rest of them we should have won, and won comfortably. Enzo could have been different and maybe we could have won those games, but we’ll never know. I think people that are comparing this to the end of Brendan are miles off the mark, the players are still playing for him and you can still clearly see the game plan, even if it’s not currently working as well as it has. The way we took the game to Bournemouth and Chelsea despite them being in the division above and with academy players filling in, was really different from last year when we were second best against teams in the divisions below. I think we’ve been really excellent this year in general, and I know lots of people will say that we’ve got a premier league squad that’s too good for this division but I don’t think that’s the case. We’ve clearly got a good squad relative to the division but it’s really unbalanced, full of players wanting to leave and with contracts expiring so in general I think Enzos done a good job getting the best out of them for the majority of the season. If we don’t go up it will be a failure on his part, but we don’t know yet. And if we do go up I’d be as confident if not more in him than I would any of the other realistic appointments. He’s far from perfect, but considering how new he is to management I think he’s done a really good job, especially if you compare him to Pep, Klopp and Arteta in their first season who all really struggled and some fans didn’t think they were going to work out.

“I could go on to be proved wrong, and I would still think I’m right”

Enzo completely outclassed again tonight, shown by the scoreline and the table. We’d be much better off with the tactical genius nick dodds who got one over Enzo tonight

Your missus must be fuming with the amount of bed sheets you got through tonight.

Yeah fair play - he’s got them losing 1-0 at home.

Feels like they’re lacking confidence in front of goal. At the start of the season I reckon mav and KDH shoot instead of pass.

This is being played at the pace of a pre season friendly. Not necessarily a bad thing as long as we don’t become complacent and lazy.

Agreed - for me it’s his biggest asset, the intensity at which he presses his opponent is phenomenal and at this level it really scares them and pressures them into making mistakes. Even without the goals and assists it’s reason to start him over the others imo.

Pictures and colours are the perfect way to this argument, it’s the only thing they can understand.

So Rudkins pulled off a blinder?👀

Think cannon needed a rotation, started really well in his first few games but looked far less impressive in the last couple. At Coventry he was awful. Plus Daka was on good form before he left and did a bit at afcon too.
